"Stellar Management and Memory Care at Assisted Living Facility"
The head of this place is great, always ready to help and steps up to keep everyone positive. He takes any worries by the family seriously and makes sure that everyone else in the community does the same. Nursing staff here really has their act together and is always ready to help, and some people really stand out. The people at the front desk are nice and make you feel welcome. The helpers in the Reminisces memory unit take good care of our mom, all the time, with every single thing.

"Decent but Overpriced, Staff Lacks Engagement"
We visited Sunrise of East Setauket as a family, and we generally liked it, but thought it was rather costly. We also noticed that there really wasn't much conversation or engagement between the staff and the residents.

"Subpar Care and Unfriendly Environment at Sunrise of East Setauket"
Sunrise of East Setauket failed to provide a good environment for my mom during her respite stay this September. The whole staff seemed unprofessional, uncaring, and inattentive to everyone's specific needs. The facility is excessively dirty, cold, and unwelcoming and honestly doesn't feel like a home. I am completely unsatisfied with the care my mom received and we will certainly not be using them again in the future. They don't treat anyone like family.

"Spotless Facility; Needs More Activities - Great Value Overall"
Our experience has been wonderful overall. The place is always spotless and everyone is really nice. They've done an amazing job with my mom and have even gotten her to open up more. The overall vibe is great and the staff are super supportive and alert. However, I believe there needs to be more activities for her to participate in. For someone who can do most things themselves, it's really worth it. Having the doctors come to her is a big plus since she can't drive. This has been really convenient for us. I would definitely recommend Sunrise of East Setauket to others.

"Concerns Regarding Memory Care at Otherwise Good Facility"
We visited this assisted living place in person and found the staff to be friendly, helpful, and genuinely interested in our questions. The place seemed nice and we appreciated their decision to bring in a rescued older dog to live there. We only had concern about the memory care section. The people there seemed to be significantly affected by memory loss.

"Appreciation for Coziness Over Hospital-like Ambiance"
We appreciate the cozy feel of this place, it doesn't seem like we're in a hospital.

"Super nice helpers make Sunrise of East Setauket standout"
In comparison to other places like nursing homes, Sunrise of East Setauket is way better. The person I care about likes it here. The helpers are super nice and they always keep the folks living there looking good by doing stuff like their hair and nails, and making sure they stay clean. They're very kind; they talk to the residents in a nice way and take their time with them. They go above and beyond to show kindness to the person I care about." .

"Sunrise offered spacious rooms and compassionate staff."
At first, Sunrise seemed perfect for us. They were helpful and did their best to ensure my mom could move in. The rooms have a lot of space. The people working there are really nice and care a lot. I definitely think others should consider this place.

"Negative Review: Sunrise of East Setauket Assisted Living Fails Terribly"
Sunrise of East Setauket totally drops the ball when it comes to my mom's care in their memory unit. The ratio of workers to residents is disappointing, limiting personal interaction and understanding of my mom’s needs. They manage her cleanliness, meds, and check on her health weekly, which is just average for an assisted living place, setting them halfway between a nursing home and assisted living program. The residents spend most of the day in a room together where they eat and play games. This method of looking after their residents is actually ineffective for their overall health. I've noticed that my mom doesn’t enjoy or benefit from their social program. Their Activity Director is in charge of singing with the residents, baking food, and she's there five days a week. Unfortunately, she's far from impressive. Bottom line, I'm dissatisfied with my Mom’s placement here and warn against choosing Sunrise of East Setauket.

"Exceptional staff and services at Sunrise Assisted Living Facility"
The level of interaction with the personnel here is fantastic. Initially, when my father moved in, the team had consistent communication with me and easily connected with his personality. They made a conscious effort to find dining companions for him who had similar hobbies. These gentlemen swiftly became his good friends. Amidst the COVID situation, the facility has been diligent in providing daily updates via email. The key deciding factor for choosing Sunrise was their ability to cater to my dad's necessity for a ground diet, to which they readily obliged. Surprisingly, he praises the food quality and has put on some weight. Moreover, the staff are very sensitive towards respecting the privacy of the residents.

"Sunrise East Setauket: Unfair, High-Cost, and Not a Memory Care Facility"
Sunrise should not even be named a “Memory Care Facility”. Just two days after my mom moved there, they told us she tried to escape the safe area, and that we need to get an aide for over $5,000 each month. This is on top of the nearly $10,000 they charge for a “secure place”. This is a normal thing for memory care patients to do, but they didn't mention it would be a problem. When I told them my mom might act this way, they told me about their secure place and door alarms. They were okay taking her $5,700 (not refundable) move-in fee, but they can't staff enough people to give basic care. Instead of getting an hourly worker to watch the door, they need several patients to pay thousands a month so they don't get out? Later, they told me they were kicking her out after they realized they couldn't (or wouldn't) do what they said and after they took all her money. Let me be clear: THIS IS NOT A MEMORY CARE PLACE. The bosses are awful people who only want to cheat your elderly, defenseless family members. Stay away from Sunrise East Setauket.

"Good Facility but More Trips, Less Sugar, More Exercise Needed"
Sunrise of East Setauket looks great, with soothing neutral shades and big windows that let in a lot of sunlight. The workers are quite friendly and nice. However, they don't offer a lot of outings in the town. We've been struggling to get them to cut back on our mom's sugar intake, which isn't good for someone with Alzheimer’s. There's sweetened water and dessert at every lunch and dinner. Plus, there's not enough physical activity. Our mom likes walking, but they keep her seated for long periods. The only time she walks is when we come to visit. They have a nice paved walkway around the facility and ample space for indoor walk. For the most part, she's safe and adjusting. Despite some issues, it's a pretty good facility to consider.

"Attractive Senior Center Denied Admission to Our Family Member"
This place is a good-sized and attractive facility. It seems to have some decent events and perks like monthly health checks from a licensed nurse who works there. However, they wouldn't take in our family member.

"Highly Recommend for Great Care and Activities"
This place provides excellent care. The food choice is impressive. When they can, the events they hold are really fun. I totally endorse this place to other families for their top notch care and the benefits it brings to their dear ones.
